Training Course "Diverse You(th)"

24 facillitators from 9 different countries (Germany, Poland, Austria, Spain, Portugual, Italy, Estonia, Hungary, Greece) will come to share, learn and develop further their experiences as youth workers. The aim of the training course is to reflect on the concept of identity in international youth work – its concepts and methods of working on that issue, particularly with disadvantaged children and youth. We will be focusing in terms of content and methodology on a recent S A L T O publication : ‘Understanding You[th]’. The first part of the training will be dedicated to reflection on the individual and group identity of the participants, and its relation to international youth work. The second stage of the training will be dedicated to practicing the methods on identity, based on the „Understanding You[th] “ publication – the participants will run short training sessions, practicing their facilitation skills. The important next stage of the training will consist in adaptation of the presented methods to work with disadvantaged children and youth. In the end of the training the participants will have an opportunity to set up partnerships and plan follow up activities – local on international onces – targeting disadvantaged children and youth. The Training Course will be strongly related to the SALTO publication ‘Understanding You[th]’. Before the TC please have a look at it. During the training the participants will be responsible for running short sessions for each other in order to master your facilitation skills and practice new methods.
